Last time Trump invited Schumer and Pelosi to discuss border security they complained because he also invited television camera crews. This time he did not, but he did bring leadership from both isles of both houses together for the meeting.

Afterwards all agreed that Trump walked out of the meeting when Pelosi answered his question about negotiating with a flat “NO”. I guess we are done here then, he said and left.

At the time the act was being considered, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer were all members of the Senate. (Schumer of New York is now the Senate minority leader.)

Obama, Clinton, Schumer and 23 other Democratic senators voted in favor of the act when it passed in the Senate by a vote of 80 to 19.,
